Not gonna lie. This is totally inspired by Altias' idea of a group CYOA! But I also love being experimental and insane so here we go.

I will not be using any conventional TTRPG structures for this. I think they're too rigid for what were after. Instead, I'll try and kinda come up with mechanics as we go. The inclusion of random elements should mean that even though I'm making it all up as we go, the game is fairly balanced. :D

So if you all wouldn't mind, let's start with some sign ups... I'll begin writing out a first adventure, depending on how many people are in.

Because this is a ttrpg style game, there will be a lot of rolls. The code to roll is [roll] and then within the brackets you need to specify how many dice and the number of face. For example, to roll one six-sided die, you would type

[.roll]1d6[/roll]

Unfortunately the code tags don't really wrap around the roll tags very well, so I can't prepare these for everyone. I'll try and provide a brief explanation of any rolls required, when they come up!

So below is the sign up. Please use creative liberty with the classes and races lol. There will be race/class adjustments to your rolls, so these are not final stats. I'll make a spreadsheet (lmao) for this. :D

For 'allocation preference', assume you have 10 points to spend on any of the skills listed. I haven't decided exactly how the skills will work yet, but it will be fairly generic RPG stuff on principle. ^^

Just a note - alignment & mythological religion may come into play down the track. I haven't included this in the sign up because it's a lot of work lmao. I'll try and either ask everyone when the time comes, or allocate based on decisions made during the game.

NB: Just a note there will be mentions of alcohol and it's something I really can't be stuffed going without.. when I started this there wasn't an issue with it :P if anyone has an issue with that please pretend it's just milk or something.

There are bad ways to win-- and good ways to lose.What's interesting and troubling is that it's not always clear which is which.A flipped coin doesn't always land heads or tails.Sometimes it may never land at all...-Grimsley
